The new fire alarm system is destined
to work to perfection when finally arrang-
ed. Thus far the experiments have been
made with the view of saving to the city
a considerable amount of expense, yet
which in the end may have to be incurred.
Those who have the matter in charge are
still figuring on the matter Of saving
expense and could at any time if it was
decided to readiust the apparatus, have
the system in complete working order
within half a day. but, as before stated,
this would incur ar expense which it is
desirable to avoid. 1t is probable that
there will not be any difficulty with the
system. Should it be necessary to have
a member Of the firm which is supplying
the fire alarm system for Cheyenne to
assist in putting it in running order, one
will no doubt be sent for.

Women who figure in public usually
ike to be interviewed. They are less
cautious than men about expressing their
convictions, but they are more particular
about having their exact language
printed. Unlike most men, the women
want to SEQ the reporters note book

DOWN. Anna Dickinson once said to the
writer. That energetic lady was not
satisfied with the assurance that her in
terviewer's memory was as good as a
note book, she wanted to have the inter-
view-which was about her plans as an
actress-written out then and there SO
that she might read it over and revise it.
OF course she had her own way. She
fixed up the interview to her own liking
and the interviewer turned it in to the
man with the blue pencil who sits at the
city editors desk. That critical person
cut out about four-fifths of Annals talk
and quite naturally the next day she had
something to say about the total deprav-
ity of newspaper reporters .-New York

Notwithstanding the cold weather and
the high wind Yesterday, a number of our
Cheyenne marksmen went up to the fair
ground and INDUCED in some practice
shooting. Among those who went up for
that purpose were Governor Moonlight,
j. A. McMurchey, champion wing shot
of Ohio, and Messrs. ~Schunaman, Ber-
gersen. Channel, Holloway and others.
Each of the above named gentlemen fired
a few shots, but the wind was SO strong
and the weather so cold hat it was but
little satisfaction to the participants, and
after about IN hours experience an ad-
iournment took place and everybody came
home.

They have frequent dances south of the
railroad track, and which are largely atten-
ded, mostly by those who reside in that
portion of the city. Night before last one
Of these dances occurred, and while the
party was in progress a stranger came in
apparently for the purpose of observing
what was going on. He said nothing to
anyone and no one had anything to say to
him. Eventually he laid down on q
lounge in one OF the rooms of the house
and lay there until about midnight.
When awakened he took his departure,
and after he had gone it was discovered
that an oyercoat was missing. Neither
the stranger nor the overcoat have been
seen or heard of since.

THE I + PARK.
What the Park Committee Propose I,
Do.

A representative Of The LEADER yes
terdsy interviewed Henry Altman, chair
man of the city council park committee,
as to what is liable to be done toward i'm
proving the city park during the coming
season. Mr.. Altman showed the reporter
q chart which had been prepared Of the
park upon which was indicated in exact
metes and bounds the proposed plan of
laying out the park. Each block, OF
which there are four in the park, is to be
laid out into walks separate and distinct
from each other, and no two of them are
to be after the same plan. The park is
first to be leveled off in fine style and
grass seed own all over it. After the
grass is up. the su%bdividing of the park
into sections, walks, ETC.. will be made.
Around the wire fence which now sur
rounds the park are to be planted Gu
cumbers mot for the product), whose
vines will in time Irvine around the fence
wires in such a manner as to hide them
entirely. Five hundred additional trees
are to be set out in the park. and in addi.
ton to these fruit trees and shrubbery will
also be planted.
1t might be stated here that l 900 trees
are also to be set out around Lake Mime
haha, for as chairman Of the park COM
mittee Mr.. Altman also has Jurisdiction
over that body Of water. Altogether ii
looks as though the city park has fallen
into good hands, and that it will be greatly
improved this season.

for $l.50, was arraigned before Judge
Lee yesterday OF a charge Of grand lar
